Modeling Guide for SAP Data Hub

Integrating SAP Cloud Applications with SAP Data Hub

SAP Data Hub enables you to integrate SAP cloud applications with SAP Data Hub for holistic data management. The integration is supported using the Cloud Data Integration API, which is based on the OData V4 specifications.

SAP Cloud Application Data Integration – Providers and Consumers ​

Cloud Data Integration API

SAP Cloud applications implement the Cloud Data Integration API, which consists of two types of OData services. The first type is the Administrative service that exists once per system. The structure of the administrative service is as below.

The administrative service provides a catalog of providers that are organized along namespaces. Each provider represents a business object and consists of one more entity sets that semantically belong together.

The second type of service exists once per data provider, and the structure of these providers depend on the entity sets of the provider. This service provides access to the metadata and the data of the entity sets.

In the current version, you can integrate the following SAP Cloud applications with SAP Data Hub.
  • SAP Fieldglass
  • SAP Sales Cloud
  • SAP Service Cloud

Creating a Connection

In the SAP Data Hub Connection Management application, you can use the connection type, CLOUD_DATA_INTEGRATION to create connections to SAP Cloud applications. In the connection definition, configure the service endpoints. For more information see, ff10e8a1238c41898ae9008b893538c5.html

Capabilities

Creating a connection to an SAP Cloud application enables you to use entity sets of the service providers as Datasets in the Metadata explorer. Additionally, the connection also maps the namespaces and providers to folders in the Metadata explorer. As a result, you can view the metadata of entity sets and preview them in the Metadata Explorer application.

You can use the Cloud Data Integration Operator in the SAP Data Hub Modeler for data ingestion. For more information see, f1f6af01992145e288970f956aae5da9.html
